    Well done team nama tuluver, just ignore some cheap critcs, some are there only to criticze they dont organize and then comment, there is nothing wrong in conducting in a hotel there are many such events in the past that have taken place, knowing we are in dubai not in India we have no choice, had there been an ammani hall where also is used as a hotel for parties, we could have done that, atleast remembering a great personality and for the work he has done is great, keep it up be united and ignore these cheap critics

    Condolence meeting for such a great personality should have arranged in proper way. For the purpose getting cheap publicity gathering in a restaurant and publishing news with photographs are not justified.

    well done team nama tuluver by showing some gratitute towards departed soul of then home minister of kar-natak bjp yeddi govt.
    If somebody remembers him as home minister then the full credit goes to his many developments he carried out particularly for udipi district, for other part or neighboring districts he was merely a cattle patrolling home minister.
